Wanna know what is funny? EVERY grade in our K-5 school is in the middle of an informational text unit RIGHT NOW. Totally by coincidence or teacher think-alike? Not sure. All I know is that our library is cleared out!
Thankfully, I thought ahead! At this time last year I started searching for copies of books that I was certain would be perfect for a mentor text book cart. I stocked up and found about 35 excellent books that are my go-to books for "Everything Informational Reading Related".
I am happy to share my suggestions for awesome texts that go with each Common Core standard. This list is specifically for 2nd grade, but it could also be used with most 1st grade standards as well.
(If you would like to download the list in a neat, easy pdf format, click here.)
Having these books on the ready has saved my butt this year! Here we were today comparing two books presented on the same topic.
I feel like they are learning a ton right now! Now, let me back up and say that we do work with informational texts ALL year long. But this is the time we REALLY delve in! How about you? Do you just mix them in throughout the year or do you have a unit specifically focused like me?

This is absolutely amazing! I would so be your best friend if you would come up with one for first grade... hint hint! I am actually going to use this since I teach gifted first graders, so they will be able to handle the levels. Thank you thank you thank you!

I am so glad it is helpful! I have a rough list for 1st grade that I could probably tweak a little bit :)

I would love a list for 3rd grade!! Hint Hint! Wink Wink! Love love!
ReplyDeleteIf my children were in your class I would be very upset about the books on your list that claim that Global Warming is caused by man. These are not factual books. You should pick some better ones.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your hard work! A great resource!
ReplyDeleteFound your list on pintrest while making my own boards with anchor texts. This is fantastic!

I really appreciate your list of Informational Texts. One book on your list needs the author updated. The Pilgrims and the First Thanksgiving is by Peter McDonnell and Mary Englar. The Pilgrims' First Thanksgiving is by Ann McGovern.
